Middle Eastern food is rooted in history, folktales and purpose. I love tracing recipes back in time while considering the common threads between our cuisine and others and the influence of varying empires. The depth and complexities of Middle Eastern cuisine deserve to be honoured and cherished before they fade to whispers beneath the dust. Equally, it’s important to not only explore this rich heritage but consider it’s place today’s world and the bold future it can behold.

My two cookbooks are The Jewelled Kitchen and The Jewelled Table. My team and I also offer tours of Lebanon via our bespoke tour company, Taste Lebanon.

My aim is to try to demystify Middle Eastern food and make it more accessible. I want to change perceptions that Middle Eastern food is complicated and laborious (sometimes it can be) and get more people grappling their fear of the unknown with the cuisine. I like to cook both classical and Middle Eastern inspired dishes and try to always present them in an un-intimidating manner with easy to follow instructions.
